-Couldn’t locate medical kit when it was needed.
-Most surgical super glue was out of date
-Relied on guests medical experience when needed.
- Surf guide called guests off waves,
- some guests wanted to surf big waves ( forecast didn’t allow it) then would winge and complain to surf guides (behind other guests that were surfing) that we should leave particular spots because they had , had enough.
- The so called luxury canoes would hold a large amount of rain water, then staff would still launch the canoe regardless and wait for it to drain through the smallest of drain holes.
On a positive note, food was good, beer was cheap, good options (if you can get to them) for waves and the accomodation was nice.
I would most definitely stay else where next time

Went to Kandui 4 years ago and got the biggest waves of my 3years of surfing. The staff are amazing and become like family. Facilities are absolutely stunning! I was lucky enough to go over for 1 month and about to head back this year for 2 months. It's the best possible addiction you can have! Kandui! Yewwww!

Kandui Resort is hands down the best resort in the Mentawais. Between boats and other land camps, I won't go anywhere else. They have incredible staff that caters to your needs. You want to surf the best spots when they are good, the boat crews make it happen. Ray is the man! Ok

delusive marketing, most ratings shill, Kandui a surf camp not a 'resort', for trained surfers (fickle swell on shalllow reef, very hazardous), to reach then leave via third world airports, harbour
this is the first ever online review on Kandui resort (K)
I have edited review, in the meanwhile many shill reviews have been sent, such as kook Alex', to try to offset this review reality cast
stakeholder-dealer Anthony Marcotti, Antidote Travel owner (A), has nothing to reply
A had received funds for an individual stay half time, for other half room shared with only another surfer, yet after boarding the first flight, before arrival, he said he had added someone else in the room, then no normal bed left, never seen
it wasn't easy to tell who was the intruder, either stole food, asked for sunshield, soap, even money
furtner inconvenience : individuals linked to staff ask for money, no authenticity ; in a island resort for instance fresh fish would be on the menu, in a real restaurant, not a 'do it all' facility with fans and dust no A/C whereas too much A/C in rooms ; no meet room or tsunami shield as advertised ; cans let near the beach
not the 'stellar' 'resort' branded
google search for ' kandui resort ' reveals :
first entry : 'K resort is a surf resort (...) that offers the ultimate (...)'
second entry (K villas) : The founder of K resort (...) for a higher standard of luxury'
is there a 'higher standard' than 'ultimate', debunked junk illusion of A, who never stays at K 'resort', yet dared blame in the tone 'I should have enjoyed as everyone', usual tactics of untrustworthy businesses
it took 5 weeks to obtain small refund, far to cover funds lost sent to A and to fly, to the extent A still earned money out of this deceit
when I left at earliest, surf media informed A sold 'beloved' K 'resort' stake for a house in a concrete marina in Fiji - more crowds at restaurants !
A uses the trick to send 'real' rates of boat transfers after, as if 'offered', yet it is in rates
in leaflet for investors, it is another story, A shows how low costs are held, hence K 'resort' under-investment, surfers crammed
1 year later, K villas revealed it had a stay ban on K 'mafia' slander, not rated online, customers met on boat on return not enthusiastic on their stay either
after years of failure to sell a K 'resort' stake, A in hatred answer to san diego better business bureau has tried to alter ratings there
instead to answer the reality cast review, A has taken incentives for fine new 'reviews'
this kind of individual dares it all, fake surf 'values'
K 'resort' buyers look no further

Perfect location for the ultimate surf trip

Kandui Resort offers a life-changing experience for surfers of most all abilities, except perhaps for true beginners (I came having only long boarded myself). The waves are legendary, the food is great and the staff is friendly and super attentive to all your needs. If you're expecting the Four Seasons, you should pack your silk nightgown and go surf with the crowds in Bali. But given the remote location - in the middle of the Indian Ocean, no less - I don't see how anyone in the Mentawais could do it better. Disregard the rogue poster, who goes by the name of Vivien, assuming you can even decipher what appears to be a poor attempt at English. Clearly, she has an axe to grind. Bottom line - Kandui is amazing!!!

Whenever you are lead to far off places in far off oceans. Always be ready to save yourself. Kandui and the rest of those want to be high end luxury places are a scam at the least and highway robbery at the worst. If you got the money, go 100% in style and do it your way, not their program. If you do not have the money, go with the local poor guy, because you know what your getting yourself into and the local poor guy will always do his best to accommodate you given his limitations. The kook from some country that does not have a shoreline that presents some perfect dream settings is just going to bait and switch your entire vision of perfection.
